Poultry vaccines
Disease prevention by vaccination is an integral part of flock health management protocols. Active immunization using live vaccines is the current industry standard. Routinely used vaccines in chickens include MDV, NDV, IBV, and IBDV, and in turkeys NDV and HEV. Newer vaccines, including molecular recombinants in which genes of immunogenic proteins from infectious agents are inserted into a live viral vector, are also being examined for commercial use. Efforts are under way to enhance vaccine efficacy by the use of adjuvants, particularly cytokines. The vaccine delivery systems include in ovo injection, aerosol, spray, drinking water, eye drop, and wing web injection. The in ovo vaccination procedure is relatively new and at the present time it is used primarily to vaccinate broiler chickens against MDV. Birds respond to vaccines by developing humoral and cellular immune responses. There are two main types of vaccine available for poultry: live or killed.

INTRODUCTION Salmonella spp. is the second most prevalent zoonotic pathogen in the European Union, and strictly related to poultry production, responsible for 60,050 human gastrointestinal infections during 2021 . In terms of the most significant serovars, Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium accounted for approximately 54.6% and 11.4% of the reported cases, respectively. However, salmonelosis can be...

We investigated the kinetics of vaccine (A20 and Serva) and wild-type (Class 9) infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) strains in dust samples after challenge as part of experiments investigating the level of protection provided by variable initial vaccination coverage against the adverse effects of virulent challenge. Two isolator studies using day-old Cobb broiler chickens were conducted to test the effects of partial vaccination with A20 (Study 1, 15 birds/per isolator) or Serva...

Enzymes have shown promising effects on performance and intestinal health in broilers (Toghyani et al., 2022). However, the dosage effect of enzymes and combination of different enzymes have not been extensively evaluated under the coccidial vaccine challenge condition. Therefore, a feeding study was conducted to examine the effect of dosage of xylanase+glucanase and the effect of its combination with a high level of phytase on growth performance, health, and welfare of broilers under a mild...

Necrotic enteritis (NE) is often induced in broilers after getting infected with coccidiosis. However, not all sources of Eimeria, as a causative agent of coccidiosis, can successfully induce NE. This study was conducted to assess whether different doses of Eimeria combinations predispose broiler chickens to NE, compared with the NE challenge model used at UNE. A total of 768 d-old Cobb 500 broiler chicks were assigned to 48 floor pens each stocked with 16 birds replicated 6 times per...

Kalen Cookson (Zoetis) Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) infections within the first 2 weeks of age cause significant immune suppression while infections after 3 weeks are less severe and more transient. The purpose of this study was to see if a 3-week IBDV challenge could significantly reduce immunity against an infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) challenge given 4 days later. Study Design: Ross 708 broilers with high maternal antibodies to IBDV...

Amine Benarbia (NOR-FEED) Eimeria spp. completes its life cycle within the host’s gastrointestinal tract. its reproduction has been known to damage enterocytes, leading to decreased growth performance and welfare in chickens.

The objective of this...

1. Introduction Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a single-stranded enveloped RNA virus that belongs to the genus Gammacoronavirus , family Coronaviridae [1]. The virus causes a clinical disease characterized by coughing, sneezing, tracheal rales, and watery eyes. In layer and breeder chickens, the disease is associated with both quantity and quality deterioration of egg production. Lesions in infected birds include the degeneration of renal and ciliated respiratory...

A new stage begins in terms of vaccinations against Salmonella. From May 2021, Primun Salmonella E can be applied in laying the first live vaccine against Salmonella Enteritidis that has been authorized for that period. In this way, we give the respite that the producer had been asking for for a long time. The productive cycles of laying hens are getting longer and the immunity that has been given through the vaccines applied only in the rearing period, did not cover the new...

AL2 is the most prevalent IBD virus in U.S. broilers, accounting for as much as half of today’s field isolations. The newest recombinant rHVTIBD vaccine was introduced in 2021. Previous studies in broilers with no IBD maternal antibodies showed this vaccine gave high levels of protection (70-78%) against AL2 challenge by 18-19 days. This paper will present 2 studies conducted to measure AL2 protection in commercial broilers. Study Design: Ross 708 broilers from a single breeder source...
